Landscape photos




Step 2 
          tip 1 Look for focal point Think not only about what the focal point is but where you place it. The rule of thirds might be useful here.

                Tip 2 Catch movement Capturing this movement generally means you need to look at a longer shutter speed (sometimes quite a few seconds). Of course this means more light hitting your sensor which will mean you need to either go for a small Aperture, use some sort of a filter or even shoot at the start or end of the day when there is less light.

            Tip 3  Work the golden hours never shoot during the day – his only shooting times are around dawn and dusk – because that’s when the light is best and he find that landscapes come alive.
